doing, sport?
l'm sorry, Daddy.
I love you more than l've ever
loved anything in my whole life.
What the hell.
You bounced pretty good.
She practised for two years.
- She'll do better next time.
- There won't be any next time.Thank you.
What do you feel like,
fish, chicken, steak?
- I know this terrific little...
- Pizza.
...Pizza place.
Jesus!...
- You really live here?
- Yeah.
It used to be a warehouse
before I moved in.
lt's different. Very different.
A whole lot different
than where l'm from.
Where is that?
Altoona, Pennsylvania.
Altoona!
I was thinking
more along the lines of Jupiter.
Actually, they're very close.
lt's just the next
lifeless planet over.
Really, it was pretty boring.
Except for maybe music.
- They have music in Altoona?
- Well, my father, he loves music.
This one time, he took us all
to the symphony, my whole family.
It was supposed to be
this really big deal.
At first I didn't like it very much.
There is nothing to do with your feet
and there's nothing really to look at.
lt's boring!
And I was ready to nod out,
or something.
He said to me...
..."If you close your eyes,
you can see the music".
You can, too.
Did you ever try?
See the music?
Come on, try.
Close your eyes.
Well?
Well...
I had a great time.
It was a terrific evening.
Don't you want some pizza?
Hey!
A little late, aren't you?
# Frightened by a dream
# You're not the only one
# Running like the wind
# Thoughts can come undone
# Dancing behind masks
Just subtle pantomime
# Lady, lady, lady
# I know it's in your heart to stay
# Lady, lady, lady
# When will I ever hear you say
I love you... #
What was that for?
I wanted to see how fast
you could run.
- How did I do?
- Fair.
# Lady, lady, lady
# Don't walk this lonely avenue
# Lady, lady, lady
# Let me touch that part of you.
You want me to... #
Do that again.
- What?
- That dance step you just did.
I can't, I was just fooling around.
"m not a dancer like that.
- What do you mean?
- "ve never studied before.
I mean, I read books and stuff
and I watch.
But "ve never taken dance classes.
There's all those dancers
in one room
watching each other
and... watching you.
But you dance in front of an audience
at the club every night.
No, but lt's different.
I never see them.
You go out there, the music starts
and you begin to feel it.
And your body just starts to move.
I know it sounds really silly.
But something inside of you
just clicks.
You just take off
and you're gone.
lt's like you're somebody else
for a second.
Some nights, l...
Some nights I just can't wait
to get out there...
Just so I can disappear.
# Lady, lady, lady
# Don't walk this lonely avenue
# Lady, lady, lady
# Let me touch that part of you
You want me to #
# He says that he
he can read my mind
# The power to turn
iron into gold
# She says she's
seen the other side
# And knows the place
The fire burns all night
# There is an answer
to the question
# So long ago down below
# Once you have it,
It never goes away
# lt's in the pocket,
When you're really really lucky
# When your fantasy
becomes reality
# Living inside your imagination
# lt's in your pocket,
When you're really really lucky
# When your fantasy
becomes reality... #
How come you don't go up there
and dance?
You look like
you could dance real good.
I'm practising.
Yeah? You know how to do
the horizontal mambo?
Hey... Jeanie, I just kid around.
I don't mean nothing. Keep that.
That's $100.
I can't take this.
Keep it.
lt's my way of saying "m sorry.
Thanks.
# It will not burn you
# And the once you may love
Only life won't make it, or just burn away #
Hanna!
Hanna!
Oh Darling, here you are.
Bravo! Bravo!
At the end of every performance, does
the lead dancer always get flowers?
- Always.
- Did you get flowers like that?
- Not always.
- But once, right? At least once?
- How does that make you feel?
- You will let me know.
